I have a client where they rolled out Nokia 9500s they are nice, but chunky handset. Just waiting on the sync :) > if it would make it easier/faster to develop.

Sync requires java to be installed. Sync is now being handled by roCon Informationstechnologie - http://rocon-it.de/ . I called the guy managing the project a couple of days ago about a few things including this. They have some issues to be resolved but are optimistic about being able to release a public beta soon.

You might need a JS trick or 2 to get the window to get focus if there is an event, as afaik popup blockers stop windows using js to gain focus. You could also look at using a SWF for generating sound :) Cheers Dave -- Dave Hall (aka skwashd) API Coordinator phpGroupWare e [EMAIL PROTECTED] w phpgroupware.org _______________________________________________ Phpgroupware-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/phpgroupware-users
